Overview (Verses 30 - 35)

Thus the fearsome scene of reckoning, with all its hardship, is thus ended, but the overall scene continues, with the surah revealing a more fearful aspect of it: "On that day We will ask hell, Are you full?' and it will reply, Are there no more?' (Verse 30) The whole scene is one of dialogue. Therefore, hell is portrayed here in the same way, with a question put to it and an answer given. This reveals something that is both amazing and awesome. We see every hardened unbeliever, everyone who hindered good, who was a sinful aggressor, a fomenter of doubt being thrown into hell where they pile up in great numbers. Then hell is asked whether it has had its full. Its reply is that of an unsatiated glutton: "Are there no more?" How frightening!

A contrasting image is drawn on the other side: it is pleasant, calm and friendly. Heaven is shown drawing near to the righteous such that they can see it for themselves. An honorable welcome awaits them: And paradise will be brought close to the righteous and will no longer be distant: 'This is what you have been promised; this is for everyone who used to turn to God and to keep Him in mind, who used to stand in awe of the Lord of Grace although He is beyond the reach of human perception, and who comes before Him with a heart frill of devotion. Enter paradise in peace; this is the day when everlasting life begins.' There they shall have all that they desire, and We have even more for them. (Verses 31-35)
 
Honour is shown with every word and move. Paradise is brought near so that they do not trouble themselves about going to it. The bliss of being accepted by God is extended to them there: "This is what you have been promised; this is for everyone who used to turn to God and to keep Him in mind, who used to stand in awe of the Lord of Grace although He is beyond the reach of human perception, and who comes before  Him with a heart full of devotion." It is those who are on high that state their qualities. Thus they realize that this is how they appear in God's records. Then they are admitted to heaven, in peace, a place from which they will not be turned out: "Enter paradise in peace; this is the day when everlasting life begins." An announcement is made on high, noting their position and making it clear that their share with God is unlimited: "There they shall have all that they desire, and We have even more for them." Whatever they may wish for will remain less than what is prepared for them. Since more' is given by their Lord, it must be limitless.
